The community chatter around this event is already buzzing, with players sharing strategies for tackling Giovanni and enjoying the thrill of catching shadow forms. While some worry about how tough Giovanni might be this time around, others share their joy over rescuing their favorite Pokémon.
If you’re one of those Trainers wondering why this enticing special research isn’t popping up for you, it’s likely because there’s unfinished business from previous Team GO Rocket stories sitting in your Special Research tab.
You’d need to wrap up those quests, which often come with their own mysteries, before diving into anything new from the latest. It can feel overwhelming at times, but finishing what you’ve started will unlock exciting new chapters ahead!
